Plastering consist of cement, sand and water. The thickness of plater is 5 mm or more. Skimming consist only powder mix with water and is like a flour mix. The thickness is not more than 2mm. The weight of a plaster is much more heavy than skim coat, if not done correctly, the plaster will fall off from the ceiling.

It is possible to lay with a minimun gap size. Using epoxy or marble glue to fill the gaps is good but when dollar and cent is involved, I don't think the contractor will use epoxy. The price of epoxy material and labour cost to fill the gaps is very expensive unless the contractor have already cost in the quotation. A normal colour grout powder is only abt $30 for 20 kg and for epoxy is abt $30 for 3kg. Priceing you can check with hardware shop or even adhesive manufacturer such as Mapei. Is good that the contractor told you this solution but I don't think he tell you about price for using epoxy.

I hv never seen before that the adhesive can be paint coz the adhesive is mix from liquid and prepacked powder adhesive till it is paste form and there is no way that the worker can paint. Regrads to the good tile adhesive, I would strongly recommend Mapei Adhesive. If contractor are using W1, please ask them to provide a test report by the manufacturer on the strenght for tiling. I saw b4 the tiles hollow after the contractors did the tiling job. You can check out the website : http://www.mapei.com They are specialist in tile adhesive.

Hi seashell, As mention b4, there is no protection wax on the tiles, but anyway is good that they will do good for you at least you off load the stain problem from your mind.

Hi there, I have confirmed with the specialist that your tile is homogenous.

Usually there will be a different of 1 - 2 mm in the gaps because they are cut from a big slab and due to the vibration when they are cutting, the dimension will be off a bit. But before the contractor laying the marbles, usually they need to do a dry lay on the floor first meaning, they need to arrange all the marbles on the floor first to sort out the different sizes.

Hi there, U buy this product call DampSeal to apply onto the tile grout.

I check it out and let you know tmr.

Plastering is not allow for HDB ceiling, but you can go for skimming. Skimming is a applying a very thin layer of finishes on to the ceiling to make it more even. but the existing paint must be remove before application.

Hi there, I manage to take some photos, u want me email to u?

Hi Lucy, is the work done half way?

U can this product call DampSeal to apply onto the ceiling to stop water from coming down.

U can try out splashing water onto the tiles. Homogenenous tile has a very low water absorption rate. Maybe if u can provide me with the tiles name or no,. I can check out for u. Is it the sales person from Hu* K**n* in Defu told you abt this?

For stubbon stain, u need to clean a few times. Later i go to Cold Storage and see whether I still can find the brand for cleaning the grout. If hv, I will inform u later.

If you hv a false ceiling, make an opening at a corner. Hot air rise, cold air sink.

To heat proof the wall, the solution is build a insulation wall and the thickness is abt 50 mm thk if u dont mind. Pms me if u r interested. Thanks!

Epoxy coating is nice but not recommend in the kitchen floor because one of my Architect did that in his house and he slipped didn't notice that the floor there was few drops of water.

Hi there, Quicseal 104 is only recommended for wet area and concealed area. Contractors who recommend this coating system for this application is those contractor who only buying materials from hardware shop and do not know the details of the product properties. Possible to load the photos so we can hv a more detail on the defects before recommending the solution to u?

u can buy the staibn remover from NTUC or Cold storage. It come in a brown slim bottle, usally place in the toilet cleaning detergent area.

U can apply sealer onto the grout to prevent from staining. But u need to remove the existing stain first b4 applying.
